@tommyboyrecords: November 4, 1988: Information Society released the single “Walking Away” along with b-side “Make It Funkier” from their eponymous debut studio album on Tommy Boy. 

Released as a single in late 1988, the song peaked at No. 9 in the United States in February 1989, No. 5 in the Hot Dance Club Play chart and No. 15 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. 

The song contains samples of William Shatner as James T. Kirk saying “It is useless to resist us” from the Star Trek episode, “Mirror, Mirror”, and James Doohan as Scotty saying “Let’s Go See!” from the Star Trek episode, “Wolf in the Fold”. 

Singer Paul Robb said, “Walking Away” was a song where I sat down and said, “I want to write a song that’s kind of like “What’s on Your Mind,” but it’s going to be directed to some former members of our band who had sort of quit the band at an importune moment. As a matter of fact, they both quit right before we made it big with “Running.” So if you listen to the lyrics of “Walking Away,” it’s basically just someone complaining about people who left. That’s because that’s exactly what it is. It’s a very transparent song - there’s no deep meanings in that one.
